Visit our Adoption Overview page for information on how to adopt, our adoption costs, and more.

This varies from a few days to a few weeks, and depends on a number of variables:

> If the animal is local or out-of-province

> If the animals requires any special support

> If the adoption application was filled out completely

> If the animal is still available at the time the application is received

We do our very best to get applications finalized as quickly as possible.

While we try to ensure that all animals are spayed or neutered before they are adopted, sometimes circumstances don’t allow it. In the event that the animal your adopting has not yet been spayed or neutered, we require a $150.00 REFUNDABLE deposit. Once the animal has had its surgery, you can complete this form.

We want to see you and your new pet have the best shot at a happy life together as possible, and have a number of resources to help you do just that. Rory O’Neill, the director of the Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue, is one of Canada’s leading animal behaviourists and can offer insight in making your match work from the start. In the event that the adoption truly does not work out, we will take the animal back. Please note that a refunds are generally not offered for a returned animal.
